FAX
InfoTerm Plus currently does not support the Fax features of a Fax Modem. In
the future, registered users may recieve a Fax upgrade. If you want to make
your Fax program accessible through InfoTerm Plus, see the documentation on
errorlevel exiting.
DIAL
DIALING
DIRECTORY
The dialing directory for InfoTerm Plus is configured with a maximum of 300
entries. I would be shocked if that wasn't enough for you. InfoTerm Plus
uses disk buffering to allow the dialing directory to use less than 1% of
what it normally would. The accessing gives the highest priority to the
lower numbers. Each entry holds name, number, com port, baud rate, and
attached script filename. Pressing ALT E in the dialing directory will load
EDITDIAL, which will edit the entry of your choise. For information on
converting other terminal program's dialing directories, look up keyword
"CONVERT".
CONVERT
CONVERSIONS
Currently InfoTerm Plus is capable of converting dialing directories of
Qmodem Pro, Telemate, and Shareware Procomm. "EDITDIAL /?" will explain the
command-line parameters needed to convert.

COLOURS
The colors in InfoTerm Plus are user configureable. Just hit ALT S and V
from terminal mode and it will list 10 of the colors used in InfoTerm Plus
with instructions on how to change one.

ANSI
AVATAR
InfoTerm Plus comes with three terminal emulations. These are enough for
the most common uses. ANSI is the standard for most dial-up BBSes. AVATAR
is an alternative used because of its efficiency. Fcolor is not commonly
used but offers an easy way for users to change colors without risk or
difficulty. Systems that require VT-100 might work in ANSI mode.
EXIT
QUIT
To exit InfoTerm Plus, hit any key now, and ALT X after that. (ALT X from
terminal mode)
BBS
SERVICES
USE
InfoTerm Plus can be used to call BBSes. Originally called Bulletin Board
Systems, these online systems now have much more to offer. One such system
is InfoMOD BBS at (414) 896-2660. (US number) That system can give you
information on systems closer to you.
PULLDOWN
MENUBAR
The pulldown menubar is an added extra to InfoTerm Plus. You never have to
use it if you don't want to. All the features it has can be used another
way. To access the menubar hit ALT F10 from terminal mode. ESC exits it,
and you can use arrow keys and ENTER in the menubar.
QWK
INFOQWK
QWK mail is the ability for many systems to let you download your mail and
read it after you disconnect. This saves you long distance fees. InfoTerm
Plus comes equipped to handle the QWK mail packets. Press ALT Q from
Terminal mode, or execute INFOQWK.EXE to read a downloaded packet. InfoTerm
Plus QWK needs PKZIP and PKUNZIP to handle message packet compression.
SPEED
BAUD
BPS
The connect speed of a modem is independant of the terminal setting. The
terminal setting indicates how fast the computer talks to the modem, not
how fasrt the modem talks to another modem. Most modems will not connect
at a higher speed than the terminal's speed because it would not be able
to give the terminal the information fast enough. However, this does not
mean that you should set InfoTerm Plus to the highest setting, because
many modems will have problems if the terminal speed is too fast. Consult
your modem's manual for the right setting for you. The speed is measured
in baud (bits per second, also called "BPS"). Common settings are 300,
1200, 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. Some modems "lock" the
baud rate, so it is one setting no matter what. Others require that you
adjust the terminal to the same baud rate as the connection.
REGISTER
REGISTRATION
PURCHASE
BUY
InfoTerm Plus is based on the Shareware concept. The Shareware concept has
many advantages, both for the users and the author. The users get many
programs that they can try before they buy. In both commercial and in
shareware programs, the user has the ability to use a program without
paying for it. In commercial software, it is a crime. In shareware, it is
encouraged, but only for a short amount of time. Paying for shareware is
called registering it. InfoTerm Plus has one of the lowest registration
fees for a program of its ability, $10. To register InfoTerm Plus, hit
ALT Y from terminal mode or execute REGISTER.EXE.
STATUS BAR
STATUSBAR
STATUS
TOP LINE
The status bar tells you important information about your connection. Here
is an example line:
S≡Ä≡A≡C≡U≡R≡Q≡C COM 2 2400 8N1 F10 = Menu HOME = Help 0:00:23 1:51:22 PM
"COM 2" indicates that you are on COM port 2.
"2400" indicates that you are at 2400 baud.
"8N1" indicates 8 bits, No Parity, and One stop bit.
The first timer tells you how long you have been connected.
The group of letters to the left tells you much about the InfoTerm Plus
settings:
S Online Scripts Enabled.
Ä High ascii writing Enabled.
A High ascii translation Enabled.
C Bracket fcolor rainbow writing Enabled.
U Auto Zmodem Enabled.
R Reverse Mousequote Enabled.
C Capture ON.
TRANSLATE
TRANSLATE TABLE
TABLE
The translate table is a utility used to change characters recieved. It is
based on ASCII values of letters. If you wanted beeps to show up as ■
instead of beeping, you would change "7" to "254". Lists of ASCII values
are common and can be found on most BBSes and references.

SCRIPTS
The script language used in InfoTerm Plus is quick and easy.
SEND <string> Sends text
WAIT <string> Waits for text
HALF Half-duplex (no echo)
FULL Full-duplex (echoes recieved chars)
DELAY Waits nearly half of a second
PROMPT Waits for one character
IF <char> If prompt recieved the char, do what
is below
ENDIF ends an IF block
STRING waits for a line and stores it in ~1
GOTO <number> goes to that line.
HANGUP Hangs up the modem.
WAITCARRIER Waits for modem carrier.
ONLINE SCRIPT
ONLINE SCRIPTS
The online scripts are a unique and powerful feature. Keywords are
configured like this:
WORD 1 > The
WORD 2 > car
WORD 3 > is
WORD 4 > moving
WORD 5 >
SENDS > Stop the car^M
The last word, number 5, is blank so it is ignored, but must be revieved
before the response is sent. Anything but numbers and letters can seperate
triggerwords. For example, "The@car&is-moving" would trigger it, but
something like "The car is -moving" would not.
MACRO
MACROS
InfoTerm Plus has ten macros. If additional macros are needed, save them
as an ASCII file using FILEDIT.EXE. Hit <INSERT>, type the filename, then
<ENTER>. It will then ASCII upload the file like a macro. Notation like ~1
and ^M do not work in ASCII uploads. The macros you configure using ALT S
and M are according to number. 1 through 9 correspond to ALT 1 through
ALT 9 on your keyboard. 10 corresponds to ALT 10. A macro that starts with
"@", "%", '&', or "*" has a special function. (See the documentation) One
nice feature is if you highlight text in terminal mode and hit a macro key,
that macro key will be set to the highlighted text.

TRANSFERS
File transfers are designed to be fast and easy. First choose a protocol.
You will need to get the protocol driver file. This is released by the
author and insures genuine compatibility. Place it in the same directory
as InfoTerm Plus. If the protocol is one of the 19 supported, you are
ready. Press <PAGE UP> or <PAGE DOWN> and select the protocol when you
want to upload or download. If it is not supported by InfoTerm Plus,
see the documentation on how to install it.
MUSIC
BACKGROUND MUSIC
InfoTerm Plus has background music. Toggle it by hitting ALT F8. It is also
used in indicating that the dialing directory has connected. The music dile
is MUSIC.DAT and you can write your own music by executing COMPOSE.EXE.
